Hello Om Shanties, It is a pity that there is always so much labelling going on in BK land. In Holland we call XBK's : The om shanti souls and BK's with Indian background: The Hindisouls. I cannot feel for this labelling. I am a soul. This is number one. I do not know if I am an XBK or BK, but definitively no PBK, because I only just recently know of their existence. I have not gone to the murli for some time now and I regret it. The thing is that I love to go, but do not want to have anything to do with matters of the local centre. I am tired of all gossip and wasted thought. For some time, when I still went to the murly, I felt a lack of intoxication. I never encountered this in Madhuban or Oxford or centres in other countrys. I went on a lovely German retreat in Bavaria where BK and XBK topics were openly discussed and churned. On my first visit in Madhuban I saw everything and went everywhere. Everything behind the scenes. This was an eyeopener. I discovered that Madhuban can be everywhere you want it to be and that lokik and nonlokik individuals do differ less than BK's tend to think. Also I found out that "the BK family" is only a family for those who are spiritual family and this does not involve every BK automaticly, but can invove everyone with a loving heart to the family. As someone from Holland, not born in bhakti and detatched from the "BK family" I label myself as a Tripleforeigner. In Madhuban for instance I did not like the idea of being a doubleforeigner. (The white elite sitting in the front) I still wear my ring everyday and have global contacts with XBK's and BK's in a soulfamily way. Om Kushi TF Frank _________________ ONLY SILENCE REMAINS, when I listen to him, when I listen to the silence

just a short answer (I agree with what all the things you say though!): why put a label on yourself, if you don't like labels in the first place? I think it's great to be yourself, and that's already hard enough at some times! By the way, I have been to the centre of Amsterdam one time and I didn't like it there at all. They are so overdisclipined and "cold". And most of them wear white saries .... something I am completely against. I won't get involved with any cult, and that includes all brahmins that act as such.

OS Kevin, I labeled myself as a tripleforeigner. That is more of a joke than me being dead serious. With the German BK & XBK's we developed some sort of bizarre BK humour that even BK Matthew likes. This has to do with the rigidness and stricktness of the BK Holland. I have a deep realization that God likes and has humour. Humor is a great transformer. Think of that Jew who said that he heared the best jokes of his intire life in the concentrationcamps. This way they gave up hope for a better past. What do you think Kevin? Does humour belong in the Murli? Does God have humour? Can we make jokes with and about gyan?

Yes Kevin, I mean Matthew from GRC, a guy with a lot of humour. Do you Kevin think God has humour? Frank _________________ ONLY SILENCE REMAINS, when I listen to him, when I listen to the silence

Dear Frank, Hello. Is that title Shri Shrimad Gyanvedant Swami a real title before your name or is it just ajoke? Arjuna

Hi Arjun, The title is a joke, referring to His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Titles are fun, but one should not be too serious about them, thinking about ego. Love Frank _________________ ONLY SILENCE REMAINS, when I listen to him, when I listen to the silence
